How do I add a new text layer in Cricut Design Space?

Adding a new text layer in Cricut Design Space is a simple process initiated by clicking the dedicated Text icon.

Steps to Add Text

Here's how to add a new text box to your Canvas:

1. Locate the Text Tool: On the left-hand toolbar within Cricut Design Space, find and click on the Text icon.
2. Add the Text Box: Clicking the icon will instantly add a new text box to your Canvas area.
3. Enter Edit Mode: When the text box appears, you'll see the word "Text" highlighted inside it. This indicates that the layer is in Edit mode.
4. Start Typing: Simply begin typing your desired text directly into the highlighted text box to update it. The default word "Text" will be replaced with your new content.

What Happens Next?

Once you've typed your text and clicked outside the text box, the layer will exit Edit mode. You can then:

• Select the text layer.
• Move it around the Canvas.
• Resize it.
• Change the font, style, alignment, letter spacing, and line spacing using the tools in the top toolbar.

This straightforward process makes it easy to add and customize text elements for any of your Cricut projects.
